Evil Krampus Holiday Update live: Get ready for a true Christmas horror story!
Ho Ho Ho fellow Textorcists,
Christmas is here and Ray just finished decorating his office - there are stockings, wreaths and even a Christmas tree. He waited until Christmas Eve before opening his presents. But when he finally did, one of the first presents didn't contain a present at all - no, it's Krampus, an evil half-demon:
Can you save Ray's Christmas, beat the evil Krampus and send him back to hell? So prepare yourself and get ready for a true Christmas horror story!
"It's not what's under the Christmas tree that matters. It´s the evil hiding in it." Quote: Ray Bibbia
Btw. we wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year - have a good start into 2020!
Krampus is coming to town – have you been naughty or nice?

Some additional features are:

A bunch of brandnew Steam Achievements
BOSS RUSH: After finishing the game, players will unlock the Boss Rush mode by continuing the game.
This game mode can be accessed from the title screen and features all bosses in a row inside a new arena, with its own leaderboard and Trinkets enabled.
TRINKETS: There are 30 (+1) Trinkets to be earned in the Story Mode.
Every Trinket can grant a bonus and lower the player’s score or can grant a malus and raise the player’s score. To get a Trinket, the player must defeat bosses and every boss can drop three Trinkets. Tier 1 Trinkets are dropped just by beating a boss, tier 2 Trinkets are dropped if the player beat a boss without losing hearts and tier 3 Trinkets are dropped if the player beats a Boss without any typing errors. Players start with 0 slots and by simply progressing with the story they will gain slots up to a maximum of 5. Trinkets can be equipped at the wardrobe in the hub. While equipping those, some simple rules are applied: players cannot equip as many Bonus Trinkets so the Score percentage is equal or less than 0%. Only one Action Trinket can be equipped at a time (Action Trinkets are activated by pressing SPACE), and the Monocle is the only Trinket used to access Hardcore Boss Fights and it's the only Trinket that must be equipped alone.
THE MONOCLE AND HARDCORE BOSS FIGHTS: After finishing the game, players will get the Monocle (31st Trinket) by continuing the game after watching the cutscene. This particular Trinket comes with a stone to be found in the hub. By equipping this special Trinket, players will be granted access to the Hardcore Boss Fights accessible from the world map. Hardcore Bosses are the same story bosses, but they behave as follows: all moves are shuffled, the bosses attack relentlessly without down-times, spells are shuffled, players have only one life. After beating a Hardcore Boss, the stone in the hub will gain a new piece until completion. With the Monocle equipped, the player’s score is highly raised and goes in the same leaderboards as the story mode.
Note: The beta branch version has all the trinkets already unlocked and you can fight all the bosses right from the start. The leaderboards are only in test mode and the score will not be visible in the regular version.

Greetings fellow Textorcists - Ray speeking! Did you know who delivered The Textorcists' soundtrack? None other than incredible GosT! Thanks for the damn good cooperation and the great results! Having a blast from Textxorcising demons and listening to the pushing soundtrack is just awesome!
If you wanna know more about GosT take a look on his Twitter, Bandcamp and SoundCloud. Have a great time!
What's up with Ray? Yeah, he is still textorcising the hell out of grumpy demons. But what's up with Ray Bibbia? The last time was damn quiet on our beloved private exorcist.
But hey, here is a sign of life! And a few words directly form the desk of Ray:
"Greetings fellow Textorcists - Ray speaking! The last weeks have been hell, but I am still alive and kicking. I am working on some brandnew stuff, that will be waiting for you in our demon-ass-textorcisin fights in short time. Stay tuned!"
Yeah, there is more of Ray to come! We're adding some replayability, a lot of people have been asking for an easy mode- or even a hard mode, so we're adding something that'll change the difficulty... in both ways! We keep you posted!
